Hello world! Today I'm releasing that shmup game demo I've been working on intermittently over the last few years, named "Second Legacy". It's all based on a homemade 2D game development library written in C/OpenGL, that I've also used in other projects (among which Lives Out, also available up here).

It's a quite short demo, even after all this time. I changed the gameplay mechanics many times, spent a lot of time writing a soundtrack I liked for it - in a few different styles too, then at times focused on trying to get better at pixel-art so that I could come up with my own sprite designs (and be able to animate them at some point too). Lots of games inspired me, whether older shmup games I grew up on, or modern games of completely different genres that had something interesting to inspire me.

This version is decent enough for me to share it, hence why I'm doing it now of all times, but putting aside all I need to add to make it into a full fledged game, it still has a few bugs. I've listed some prominent ones I'm aware of on the project page, but feel free to hit me up if you encounter anything amiss, or just to let me know what you think! Either way I will keep working on it and post updates here regularly.

Thanks for your interest in my game, I hope you enjoy playing it!
